1284437 – Take latest kprobe/uprobe patches

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Pratyush Anand 2015-11-23 10:39:19 UTC

Description of problem:

Take latest uprobe and kprobe patches from mainline/under discussion on upstream.

Actual results:
No uprobe/kprobe support for RHEL7.3 which is currently tracking v4.4-rc1.

Expected results:

Tested kprobe/uprobe features for RHEL7.3.

Comment 2 Pratyush Anand 2016-01-28 17:00:02 UTC

4.5-RC rebase broke uprobe implementation and patches need to be resubmitted again. So, I was wondering should this bug be moved back to assigned or a new bug be created?

Comment 3 Mark Langsdorf 2016-01-28 17:01:46 UTC

I'm moving them back to assigned.

Comment 4 Mark Langsdorf 2016-02-05 16:51:33 UTC

and back to modified since they've been posted and pulled into a kernel

Comment 5 Mark Langsdorf 2016-02-05 16:57:18 UTC

As this bug is already in the advisory, moving it by hand to ON_QA

Comment 6 Erico Nunes 2016-08-23 14:26:47 UTC

Verified on hp-moonshot-02-c24.khw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com, kernel 4.5.0-3.el7.aarch64. Executed basic sanity tests with kprobes and uprobes and executed /tools/perf/Sanity/basic-test-aarch64 test on it.
The only failing result in basic-test-aarch64 is test_advanced.sh which is being covered by BZ#1299021.
